what's a song or musical artist you've been enjoying listening too lately?
What is your favorite and least favorite food? 👀 xxx
In terms of favorite dishes I love mapo tofu and veggie phở. I'd be hard pressed to name more comforting foods than those to eat 😋 least favorite foods hmm I'm not very picky but I tend to avoid overly bitter flavors. Anything made with really heavily pickled or fermented things are icky to me :P mwah mwah love u shelby
hi hey hello! thoughts on summer? fav season or do u loathe the heat?
Hmm definitely not my favorite season! I don't enjoy the heat as much I like cooler temperatures. If it's above 25°c I better be in some kind of body of water or else I am not a happy camper -_- I do enjoy late summer evenings though-- since twilight is my favorite time of day so there's one positive lol
Hallo I love you very much handsome friend.
What is your favourite colour? I’m guessing cerulean but maybe you’ll surprise me!
post-canon hc: WWX teases LWJ about the field of bunnies, but post-canon he falls in love with them so hard that LWJ finds him sneaking them extra treats in between regular feedings. When confronted, WWX says he just wants them to be big and strong. He is extra emotional about any baby fluffballs. <3
yes YES YES THIS IS THE CONTENT I LIKE TO SEE!! I love thinking about good rabbit dad wwx!! He doesnt know how to get them to like him at first but eventually he gets the hang of it and is smothered in bunny love. He cant resist them!! Also imagining lwj melting after seeing wwx cuddle with bunnies.... perfection.... Thank you for these fluffy thoughts they are very loved 💙
Passing by to say I love your art. I love the way you play with color and light, it's so vibrant and organic and even in your manhua panel redraws you have such a signature style that I could tell without seeing your name that the piece was made by you. I really like the organic and realistic bodies you give to wangxian, the pieces are artistically very well done and interesting in style but also very grounded and full of life.
HEY HELLO ANON??? HI I'M GONNA TEAR UP THIS IS SO NICE????hooohhhhh I'm very soft and this means very much to hear. I know my style jumps around a lot because I like to experiment and just do whatever so to hear that my stuff is recognizable really hits hard! And it makes me unbelievably happy to see support for the bodies I draw too like-- I know there's a specific body type+characteristics that is "expected" for these characters to have but. Idk I just like to draw what resonates with me, and I'm glad it resonates with others too! Thank you very much for taking the time to come and say this. It kinda made my day 😭 I hope you're having a good one too, anon 💙
Have you ever had boba tea? I'm a recent convert, after thinking for a long time I wouldn't like it.
what if i was a little ghost and then came to haunt you what then
Hi and happy ace day from a fellow acespec! I love your art and your dressing sense/aesthetic. Do you have a strategy you follow for picking out clothes etc?
Thank you!! 🖤🤍💜 When it comes to dressing (in the context of going out, being seen) I like to focus more on shapes and silhouettes more than color or patterns. They're just more appealing to me. I tend to gravitate more towards monochromatic or neutral colored clothes and style-wise-- I honestly don't know much about styles. I guess I would call it modern casual? With streetwear elements? That sounds so vague though... So I guess I don't have a strategy at all. I truly never know what I'm doing :^)
What’s one character you’ve never drawn that you keep meaning to? Why haven’t you found time for them yet? 🥰
AH so many... in every fandom i've been in I tend to fixate on only the main characters... its a bit of a curse... Speaking specifically of the mdzs fandom, I've always wanted to draw the juniors and also nmj but just. Haven't gotten to it. The juniors are so fun and varied in designs and personalities they're a bit daunting :')) and nmj is Such a powerful character and trying to get him right is SO HARD I give up every time. I will keep trying though 😤 Thank you for your question! It's a bit vaguely threatening sounding but that's ok! All the more reason to motivate myself to draw characters that aren't wwx or lwj hahaha
what do u think have been the biggest inspirations for your art? sending lots of love your way!!💞💖💞💖💞
Without a doubt, my biggest inspirations have been all of my wonderful artist mutuals i've come to know over the years. Sharing art online has always been such a great catalyst to push myself to make better art, higher skills, work that I can always feel proud of and its to artist communities that I can thank for that! Self motivation is great but for me, personally, I've needed that little extra push sometimes <3
what is your favorite kind of beverage are you a tea or coffee person? iced or hot? thoughts on boba? :D
I am self-admittedly addicted to caffeine by way of coffee but I really, really love teas. I've been big into sencha and hōjicha recently-- they have very unique and wonderful flavor bodies and profiles! I am also a very profound enjoyer of boba as well. My mood and amount of boba consumed monthly are directly proportional and dependent to each other :^) My favorite flavors are almond and brown sugar, when its not too sweet.
do you! have! a favorite ace headcanon (or actual canon) character??
I hc most every character I come across as acespec (bc I just love to project and see myself in these characters) but I think my favorites are demi wwx and lwj, panromantic ace jc, and aroace lqr. I really resonate with the lqr hc bc I am both aroace and have a bond with my only nephew, so I get his desire to have a family but no desire to find a spouse or have "children of his own." As far as I'm concerned, lwj and lxc are his beloved children and the fact that he's dedicated himself to their upbringings means a whole gosh dang lot to me. Aroace king lqr!!
What are your favorite brushes to use? (if it’s not a secret! 💕)
No secrets at all! I love to share brushes! The ones I use most often are the standard flat round with opacity control, kyle's dry media brushes (specifically the pastel, conte, and dry brush ones mmm) and some blocky chalk-y textured brushes I've been carrying with me for years. I use all of these brushes in both PS and Procreate ^^ I'm happy to share more and send anyone brushes, feel free to dm and ask~
